Abstract Fucosyltransferase 2 (FUT2) mediates the inclusion of fucose in sugar moieties of
glycoproteins and glycolipids. ABO blood group antigens and host-microbe interactions are …

The fucosyltransferase 2 gene (FUT2) mediates the synthesis of histoblood group antigens
(HBGA) that occur in vivo from multiple organs, particularly on the surface of intestinal …

The etiopathogenesis of primary sclerosing cholangitis is unknown. Genetic variants of
fucosyltransferase 2 (FUT2) have been identified in genome‐wide association studies as …

Aims. Fucosyltransferase 2 (FUT2) gene potentially affects the constituent of intestinal
microbiota, which play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease …

Genetic variation in both innate and adaptive immune systems is associated with Crohn's
disease (CD) susceptibility, but much of the heritability to CD remains unknown. We …

Homozygosity for a nonsense mutation in the fucosyltransferase 2 (FUT2) gene
(rs601338G> A) leads to the absence of ABH blood groups (FUT2 non‐secretor status) in …

AIM: To investigate the contribution of fucosyltransferase 2 (FUT2) variants to the genetic
susceptibility and clinical heterogeneity of ulcerative colitis (UC) between Han and Uyghur …

Background A recent genome‐wide association study identified the FUT 2 secretor status
and genotype defined by the single‐nucleotide polymorphism rs601338 as potential genetic …

Abstract Background and Aim Fucosyltransferase 2 (FUT2) at 19q13 is a well‐established
susceptibility locus for Crohn's disease (CD) in Caucasians. FUT2 encodes α‐1, 2 …

Background & Aims Attachment of a fucose molecule to the innermost N-glycan in a
glycoprotein (core fucosylation) regulates the activity of many growth factor receptors and …
